Setting up a Google Cloud project and services
Google Cloud provides a robust, developer-friendly platform for deploying modern applications, including GenAI-powered solutions. With tools such as Cloud Run, Artifact Registry, and Cloud Build, Google Cloud enables you to go from code to scalable, serverless deployment with minimal operational overhead.
Although your Haystack chatbot uses OpenAI for language processing, Google Cloud plays a critical role in hosting the application, managing container builds, and securely storing your Docker images. In this section, you will configure your Google Cloud project, enable only the necessary services (such as Cloud Run, Cloud Build, and Artifact Registry), and prepare your environment for deployment.
By the end of this section, your project will be cloud-ready, with all the services and permissions in place to deploy your chatbot using Google Cloud’s serverless infrastructure.
